Dehradun: In a bid to utilise the herbal and medicinal resources of the state, the Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology (UCOST) is in the process of setting up of a dedicated Patent Information Centre (PIC) in the hill state with the help of the Union Department of Science and Technology.
The centre would be of great significance for the hill state as it is a treasure trove of medicinal herbs, more so as only 300 medicinal plants are utilised as of today. This was stated by Dr Rajendra Dobhal at the flag hoisting ceremony on the occasion of Republic Day in the UCOST premises, here. Setting up of a dedicated IPR Centre in the hill state would bring in grassroots level enterprise and people’s participation to offer employment and entrepreneurship development in areas of herbal medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry, he elaborated.
